⁵ And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.

⁵ And your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations. ⁶ And I will increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you. ⁷ And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give you a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

¹⁴ Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to you seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.

¹⁸ But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.

¹⁷ And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have listened to my voice.

³ And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations. ⁴ And may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.

¹⁴ And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

¹² But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.

¹⁴ And my God give you favor in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.

³ And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.

⁷ And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.

³ And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, in the tabernacle of witness, on the first day of the second month, in the second year of their departure from the land of Egypt, saying, ² Take the sum of all the congregation of Israel according to their kindred, according to the houses of their fathers' families, according to their number by their names, according to their heads: every male ³ from twenty years old and upwards, every one that goes forth in the forces of Israel, take account of them with their strength; you and Aaron take account of them. ⁴ And with you there shall be each one of the rulers according to the tribe of each: they shall be according to the houses of their families. ⁵ And these are the names of the men who shall be present with you; of the tribe of Ruben, Elisur the son of Sediur. ⁶ Of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Surisadai. ⁷ Of Juda, Naasson the son of Aminadab. ⁸ Of Issachar, Nathanael the son of Sogar. ⁹ Of Zabulon, Eliab the son of Chaelon. ¹⁰ Of the sons of Joseph, of Ephraim, Elisama the son of Emiud: of Manasses, Gamaliel the son of Phadasur. ¹¹ Of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gadeoni. ¹² Of Dan, Achiezer the son of Amisadai. ¹³ Of Aser, Phagaiel the son of Echran. ¹⁴ Of Gad, Elisaph the son of Raguel. ¹⁵ Of Nephthali, Achire the son of Aenan. ¹⁶ These were famous men of the congregation, heads of the tribes according to their families: these are heads of thousands in Israel. ¹⁷ And Moses and Aaron took these men who were called by name. ¹⁸ And they assembled all the congregation on the first day of the month in the second year; and they registered them after their lineage, after their families, after the number of their names, from twenty years old and upwards, every male according to their number: ¹⁹ as the Lord commanded Moses, so they were numbered in the wilderness of Sina. ²⁰ And the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel according to their kindred, according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families, according to the number of their names, according to their heads, were—all males from twenty years old and upward, every one that went out with the host— ²¹ the numbering of them of the tribe of Ruben, was forty-six thousand and four hundred. ²² For the children of Symeon according to their kindred, according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, all males from twenty years old and upward, every one that goes out with the host, ²³ the numbering of them of the tribe of Symeon, was fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. ²⁴ For the sons of Juda according to their kindred, according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, all males from twenty years old and upward, every one that goes forth with the host, ²⁵ the numbering of them of the tribe of Juda, was seventy-four thousand and six hundred. ²⁶ For the sons of Issachar according to their kindred, according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, all males from twenty years old and upward, every one that goes forth with the host,

¹ There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim. ² And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child. ³ And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord. ⁴ And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children. ⁵ And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb. ⁶ For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child. ⁷ So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat. ⁸ And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children? ⁹ And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord. ¹⁰ And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly. ¹¹ And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head. ¹² And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth. ¹³ And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman. ¹⁴ And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord. ¹⁵ And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord. ¹⁶ Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now. ¹⁷ And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him. ¹⁸ And she said, Your handmaid has found favor in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad. ¹⁹ And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived. ²⁰ And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth. ²¹ And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land. ²² But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually. ²³ And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him. ²⁴ And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them. ²⁵ And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli. ²⁶ And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord. ²⁷ For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him. ²⁸ And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,

¹⁴ And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward; ¹⁵ for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever. ¹⁶ And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered. ¹⁷ Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.

¹⁸ In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.

³ And sojourn in this land; and I will be with you, and bless you, for I will give to you and to your seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to your father Abraam. ⁴ And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed.

⁴ and said to me, Behold, I will increase you, and multiply you, and will make of you multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to you, and to your seed after you, for an everlasting possession.

⁸ And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

¹ Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in. ² And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men. ³ And do you set the men of war round about it. ⁴ And it shall be [that] when you⌃ shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together. ⁵ And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city. ⁶ And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying, ⁷ And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow. ⁸ Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord. ⁹ And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets. ¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you⌃ shall cry out. ¹¹ And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there. ¹² And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord. ¹³ And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. ¹⁴ And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days. ¹⁵ And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times. ¹⁶ And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city. ¹⁷ And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you⌃ save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house. ¹⁸ But keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest you⌃ set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and you⌃ make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing, and destroy us. ¹⁹ And all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord. ²⁰ And the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city: ²¹ and Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.

¹ In that day they read in the book of Moses in the ears of the people; and it was found written in it, that the Ammonites and Moabites should not enter into the congregation of God for ever; ² because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them: but our God turned the curse into a blessing. ³ And it came to pass, when they heard the law, that they were separated, [even] every alien in Israel. ⁴ And before this time Eliasib the priest lived in the treasury of the house of our God, connected with Tobias; ⁵ and he made himself a great treasury, and there they were formerly in the habit of bestowing the offerings, and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil, the ordered portion of the Levites, and singers, and porters; and the first fruits of the priests. ⁶ But in all this [time] I was not in Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Arthasastha king of Babylon I came to the king, and after a certain time I made my request of the king; ⁷ and I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the mischief which Eliasib had done in the case of Tobias, in making for him a treasury in the court of the house of God. ⁸ And it appeared very evil to me: so I cast forth all the furniture of the house of Tobias from the treasury. ⁹ And I gave orders, and they purified the treasuries: and I restored there the vessels of the house of God, [and] the offerings, and the frankincense. ¹⁰ And I understood that the portion of the Levites had not been given: and they had fled every one to his field, the Levites and the singers doing the work. ¹¹ And I strove with the commanders, and said, Therefore has the house of God been abandoned? and I assembled them, and set them in their place. ¹² And all Juda brought a tithe of the wheat and the wine and the oil into the treasuries, ¹³ to the charge of Selemia the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and Phadaea of the Levites: and next to them [was] Anan the son of Zacchur, son of Matthanias; for they were accounted faithful: [it was] their office to distribute to their brethren. ¹⁴ Remember me, O God, in this, and let not my kindness be forgotten which I have wrought in [regard to] the house of the Lord God. ¹⁵ In those days I saw in Juda [men] treading wine presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and loading asses with both wine, and grapes, and figs, and every [kind of] burden, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath-day: ¹⁶ and I testified in the day of their sale. Also their lived in it [men] bringing fish, and selling every [kind of] merchandise to the children of Juda and in Jerusalem on the sabbath. ¹⁷ And I strove with the free children of Juda, and said to them, What [is] this evil thing which you⌃ do, and profane the sabbath-day? ¹⁸ Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought upon them and upon us and upon this city all these evils? and do you⌃ bring additional wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath? ¹⁹ And it came to pass, when the gates were set up in Jerusalem, before the sabbath, that I spoke, and they shut the gates; and I gave orders that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and I set [some] of my servants at the gates, that none should bring [in] burdens on the sabbath-day. ²⁰ So all [the merchants] lodged, and carried on traffic without Jerusalem once or twice. ²¹ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do you⌃ lodge in front of the wall? if you⌃ do so again, I will stretch out my hand upon you. From that time they came not on the sabbath. ²² and I told the Levites who were purifying themselves, and came and kept the gates, that they should sanctify the sabbath-day. Remember me, O God, for these things, and spare me according to the abundance of your mercy. ²³ And in those days I saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab: ²⁴ and their children spoke half in the language of Ashdod, and did not know how to speak in the Jewish language. ²⁵ And I strove with them and cursed them; and I struck some of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying, ]You⌃ shall not give your daughters to their sons, and you⌃ shall not take of their daughters to your sons. ²⁶ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin thus? though there was no king like him among many nations, and he was beloved of God, and God made him king over all Israel; yet strange women turned him aside. ²⁷ So we will not listen to you to do all this evil, to break covenant with our God, —to marry strange wives. ²⁸ and Elisub the high priest, [one] of the sons of Joada, [being] son-in-law of Sanaballat the Uranite, I chased him away from me. ²⁹ Remember them, O God, for their [false] connection with the priesthood, and [the breaking] the covenant of the priesthood, and [for defiling] the Levites. ³⁰ So I purged them from all foreign connection, and established courses for the priests and the Levites, [every] man according to his work. ³¹ And the offering of the wood-bearers [was] at certain set times, and in the [times of the] first fruits. Remember me, O our God, for good.

⁵ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.

²² And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.

³³ And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.

²¹ And the angel of the Lord stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire came up out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread, and the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.

²⁰ And it came to pass when the flame went up above the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord went up in the flame; and Manoe and his wife were looking, and they fell upon their face to the earth.

¹⁸ And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. ¹⁹ And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.

⁴⁵ And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.

²⁰ And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.

¹² And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

¹⁶ And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pains and your groanings; in pain you shall bring forth children, and your submission shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.

¹⁹ So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.

⁷ And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, your mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land [of Chanaan], so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.

² And the man's name [was] Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained there.

¹⁹ And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

¹⁹ And Gazuba died; and Chaleb took to himself Ephrath, and she bore to him Or.

² And you, Bethleem, house of Ephratha, are few in number to be [reckoned] among the thousands of Juda; [yet] out of you shall one come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and his goings forth were from the beginning, [even] from eternity.

²⁴ And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

¹⁹ And his daughter-in-law the wife of Phinees [was] with child, [about] to bring forth; and she heard the tidings, that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead; and she wept and was delivered, for her pains came upon her. ²⁰ And in her time she was at the point of death; and the women that stood by her, said to her, Fear not, for you have born a son: but she answered not, and her heart did not regard it. ²¹ And she called the child Uaebarchaboth, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law, and because of her husband.

¹ And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

⁴ But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.

³⁸ But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you⌃ go, then you⌃ shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades.

²⁷ And your servant our father said to us, You⌃ know that my wife bore me two [sons]; ²⁸ and one is departed from me; and you⌃ said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now. ²⁹ If then you⌃ take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you⌃ bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. ³⁰ Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life) ³¹ —it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave.

⁷ And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two door-posts, and on the lintel, in the houses in which soever they shall eat them.

⁹ And Igabes was more famous than his brethren; and his mother called his name Igabes, saying, I have born as a sorrowful one.

¹⁰ They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.

¹² LAMED. They said to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? while they fainted like wounded men in the streets of the city, while their souls were poured out into their mother's bosom.

¹⁵ and Catanath, and Nabaal, and Symoon, and Jericho, and Baethman.

¹¹ And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to you] in Bethleem.

² Hear you⌃, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and [you⌃] valleys [even] the foundations of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with his people, and will plead with Israel.

⁹ And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.

¹⁴ And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.

² [As soon] as you shall have departed this day from me, you shall find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to you, The asses are found which you⌃ went to seek; and, behold, your father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

¹⁷ And he took Abessalom, and cast him into a great cavern in the wood, into a deep pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every man to his tent. ¹⁸ Now Abessalom while yet alive had taken and set up for himself the pillar near which he was taken, and set it up so as to have the pillar in the king's dale; for he said he had no son to keep his name in remembrance: and he called the pillar, Abessalom's hand, until this day.

⁸ And you, dark tower of the flock, daughter of Sion, on you the dominion shall come and enter in, [even] the first kingdom from Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem.

³¹ And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. ³² And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me. ³³ And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon. ³⁴ And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi. ³⁵ And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.

⁵ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ⁶ And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and listened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan. ⁷ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob. ⁸ And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim. ⁹ And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her. ¹⁰ And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ¹¹ And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad. ¹² And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son. ¹³ And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser. ¹⁴ And Ruben went in the day of barley harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of your son's mandrakes. ¹⁵ And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for you that you have taken my husband, will you also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes. ¹⁶ And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, You shall come in to me this day, for I have hired you for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night. ¹⁷ And God listened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward. ¹⁹ And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son. ²⁰ And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon. ²¹ And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina. ²² And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb. ²³ And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach. ²⁴ And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Israel that went into Egypt with their father Jacob—Jacob and his sons.

¹ And Jacob called his sons, and said to them, ² Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father. ³ Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed. ⁴ You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up. ⁵ Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off. ⁶ Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull. ⁷ Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. ⁸ Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence. ⁹ Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, you are gone up, having couched you lie as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up? ¹⁰ A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations. ¹¹ Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. ¹² His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. ¹³ Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon. ¹⁴ Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances. ¹⁵ And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labor, and became a husbandman. ¹⁶ Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel. ¹⁷ And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward), ¹⁸ waiting for the salvation of the Lord. ¹⁹ Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely. ²⁰ Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes. ²¹ Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit. ²² Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me. ²³ Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him. ²⁴ But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father; ²⁵ and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb, ²⁶ the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead. ²⁷ Benjamin, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food. ²⁸ All these [are] the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing.

¹ These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family. ² Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas, ³ Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin, ⁴ Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser. ⁵ But Joseph was in Egypt.

¹ And this [is] the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. ² And he said, The Lord is come from Sina, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has hasted out of the mount of Pharan, with the ten thousands of Cades; on his right hand [were] his angels with him. ³ And he spared his people, and all his sanctified ones [are] under your hands; and they are under you; and he received of his words ⁴ the law which Moses charged us, an inheritance to the assemblies of Jacob. ⁵ And he shall be prince with the beloved one, when the princes of the people are gathered together with the tribes of Israel. ⁶ Let Ruben live, and not die; and let him be many in number. ⁷ And this [is the blessing] of Juda; Hear, Lord, the voice of Juda, and do you visit his people: his hands shall contend for him, and you shall be a help from his enemies. ⁸ And to Levi he said, Give to Levi his manifestations, and his truth to the holy man, whom they tempted in the temptation; they reviled him at the water of strife. ⁹ Who says to his father and mother, I have not seen you; and he knew not his brethren, and he refused to know his sons: he kept your oracles, and observed your covenant. ¹⁰ They shall declare your ordinances to Jacob, and your law to Israel: they shall place incense in [the time of] your wrath continually upon your altar. ¹¹ Bless, Lord, his strength, and accept the works of his hands; break the loins of his enemies that have risen up against him, and let not them that hate him rise up. ¹² And to Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in confidence, and God overshadows him always, and he rested between his shoulders. ¹³ And to Joseph he said, His land [is] of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below, ¹⁴ and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months, ¹⁵ from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills, ¹⁶ and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that lived in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown [of him who was] glorified above his brethren. ¹⁷ His beauty [is as] the firstling of his bull, his horns [are] the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these [are] the thousands of Manasse. ¹⁸ And to Zabulon he said, Rejoice, Zabulon, in your going out, and Issachar in his tents. ¹⁹ They shall utterly destroy the nations, and you⌃ shall call [men] there, and there offer the sacrifice of righteousness; for the wealth of the sea shall suckle you, and so shall the marts of them that dwell by the sea-coast. ²⁰ And to Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler. ²¹ And he saw his first fruits, that there the land of the princes gathered with the chiefs of the people was divided; the Lord wrought righteousness, and his judgment with Israel. ²² And to Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp, and shall leap out of Basan. ²³ And to Nephthali he said, Nephthali [has] the fulness of good things; and let him be filled with blessing from the Lord: he shall inherit the west and the south. ²⁴ And to Aser he said, Aser [is] blessed with children; and he shall be acceptable to his brethren: he shall dip his foot in oil. ²⁵ His sandal shall be iron and brass; as your days, so [shall be] your strength. ²⁶ There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament. ²⁷ And the rule of God shall protect you, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish. ²⁸ And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with corn and wine; and the sky [shall be] misty with dew upon you. ²⁹ Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like to you, O people saved by the Lord? your helper shall hold his shield over you, and [his] sword [is] your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.

¹ And Joshua [was] old and very advanced in years; and the Lord said to Joshua, You are advanced in years, and there is much land left to inherit. ² And this [is] the land that is left: the borders of the Phylistines, the Gesirite, and the Chananite, ³ from the wilderness before Egypt, as far as the borders of Accaron on the left of the Chananites [the land] is reckoned to the five principalities of the Phylistines, to the inhabitant of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon, and of Geth, and of Accaron, and to the Evite; ⁴ from Thaeman even to all the land of Chanaan before Gaza, and the Sidonians as far as Aphec, as far as the borders of the Amorites. ⁵ And all the land of Galiath of the Phylistines, and all Libanus eastward from Galgal, under the mountain Aermon as far as the entering in of Emath; ⁶ every one that inhabits the hill country from Libanus as far as Masereth Memphomaim. All the Sidonians, I will destroy them from before Israel; but do you give them by inheritance to Israel, as I charged you. ⁷ And now divide this land by lot to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasse. ⁸ From Jordan to the great sea westward you shall give it [them]: the great sea shall be the boundary. [But] to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to Gad Moses gave [an inheritance] beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the Lord gave [it] to them eastward, ⁹ from Aroer, which is on the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city in the midst of the valley, and all Misor from Maedaban. ¹⁰ All the cities of Seon king of the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon to the coasts of the children of Ammon; ¹¹ and the region of Galaad, and the borders of the Gesirites and the Machatites, the whole mount of Aermon, and all the land of Basan to Acha. ¹² All the kingdom of Og in the region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and in Edrain: he was left of the giants; and Moses struck him, and destroyed him. ¹³ But the children of Israel destroyed not the Gesirite and the Machatite and the Chananite; and the king of the Gesiri and the Machatite lived among the children of Israel until this day. ¹⁴ Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, he [is] their inheritance, as the Lord said to them; and this [is] the division which Moses made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho. ¹⁵ And Moses gave the land to the tribe of Ruben according to their families. ¹⁶ And their borders were from Aroer, which is opposite the brook of Arnon, and [theirs is] the city that is in the valley of Arnon; and all Misor, ¹⁷ to Esebon, and all the cities in Misor, and Daebon, and Baemon-Baal, and the house of Meelboth; ¹⁸ and Basan, and Bakedmoth, and Maephaad, ¹⁹ and Kariathaim, and Sebama, and Serada, and Sion in mount Enab; ²⁰ and Baethphogor, and Asedoth Phasga, and Baetthasinoth, ²¹ and all the cities of Misor, and all the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, whom Moses struck, even him and the princes of Madian, and Evi, and Roboc, and Sur, and Ur, and Robe prince of the spoils of Sion, and the inhabitants of Sion.

²¹ And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to your father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that you have dishonored your father; and the hands of all that are with you shall be strengthened. ²² And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

³ And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.

¹ These [are] the names of the sons of Israel; ² Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Zabulon, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Nephthali, Gad, Aser.

¹ And the sons of Ruben the firstborn of Israel (for he [was] the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;

²³ And these [are] the names of the commanders of the army, who came to David to Chebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him according to the word of the Lord. ²⁴ The sons of Juda, bearing shields and spears, six thousand and eight hundred mighty in war. ²⁵ Of the sons of Symeon mighty for battle, seven thousand and a hundred. ²⁶ Of the sons of Levi, four thousand and six hundred. ²⁷ And Joadas the chief [of the family] of Aaron, and with him three thousand and seven hundred. ²⁸ And Sadoc, a young [man] mighty in strength, and [there were] twenty-two leaders of his father's house. ²⁹ And of the sons of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: and still the greater part of them kept the guard of the house of Saul. ³⁰ And of the sons of Ephraim, twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men, famous in the houses of their fathers. ³¹ And of the half-tribe of Manasse, eighteen thousand, even [those] who were named by name, to make David king. ³² And of the sons of Issachar having wisdom with regard to the times, knowing what Israel should do, two hundred; and all their brethren with them. ³³ And of Zabulon they that went out to battle, with all weapons of war, [were] fifty thousand to help David, not weak-handed. ³⁴ And of Nephthali a thousand captains, and with them [men] with shields and spears, thirty-seven thousand. ³⁵ And of the Danites [men] ready for war twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred. ³⁶ And of Aser, they that went out to give aid in war, forty thousand. ³⁷ And from the country beyond Jordan, from Ruben, and the Gadites, and from the half-tribe of Manasse, a hundred and twenty thousand, with all weapons of war. ³⁸ All these [were] men of war, setting [the army] in battle array, with a peaceful mind [towards him], and they came to Chebron to make David king over all Israel: and the rest of Israel [were of] one mind to make David king. ³⁹ And they were there three days eating and drinking, for their brethren [had] made preparations. ⁴⁰ And their neighbors, as far as Issachar and Zabulon and Nephthali, brought to them upon camels, and asses, and mules, and upon calves, food, meal, cakes of figs, raisins, wine, and oil, calves and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.

¹⁶ And over the tribes of Israel, the chief for Ruben [was] Eliezer the son of Zechri: for Symeon, Saphatias the son of Maacha: ¹⁷ for Levi, Asabias the son of Camuel: for Aaron, Sadoc: ¹⁸ for Juda, Eliab of the brethren of David: for Issachar, Ambri the son of Michael: ¹⁹ for Zabulon, Samaeas the son of Abdiu: for Nephthali, Jerimoth the son of Oziel: ²⁰ for Ephraim, Ose the son of Ozia: for the half-tribe of Manasse, Joel the son of Phadaea: ²¹ for the half-tribe of Manasse in the land of Galaad, Jadai the son of Zadaeas, for the sons of Benjamin, Jasiel the son of Abenner: ²² for Dan, Azariel the son of Iroab: these [are] the chiefs of the tribes of Israel.

¹ And these are the names of the tribes from the northern corner, on the side of the descent that draws a line to the entrance of Emath the palace of Aelam, the border of Damascus northward on the side of Emath the palace; and they shall have the eastern parts as far as the sea, for Dan, one [portion]. ² And from the borders of Dan eastward as far as the west sea-coast, for Asser, one. ³ And from the borders of Asser, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Nephthalim, one. ⁴ And from the borders of Nephthalim, from the east as far as the west coasts, for Manasse, one. ⁵ And from the borders of Manasse, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Ephraim, one. ⁶ And from the borders of Ephraim, from the eastern parts to the west coasts, for Ruben, one. ⁷ And from the borders of Ruben, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Juda, one. ⁸ And from the borders of Juda, from the eastern parts shall be the offering of first fruits, in the breadth twenty-five thousand [reeds], and in length as one of the portions [measured] from the east even to the western parts: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of them. ⁹ [As for] the first fruits which they shall offer to the Lord, [it shall be] in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth twenty-five thousand. ¹⁰ Out of this shall be the first fruits of the holy things to the priests, northward, five and twenty-thousand, and towards the west, ten thousand, and southward, five and twenty thousand: and the mountain of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst of it, ¹¹ for the priests, for the consecrated sons of Sadduc, who keep the charges of the house, who erred not in the error of the children of Israel, as the Levites erred. ¹² And the first fruits shall be given to them out of the first fruits of the land, [even] a most holy portion from the borders of the Levites. ¹³ And the Levites [shall have] the [part], next to the borders of the priests, in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth ten thousand: the whole length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand. ¹⁴ No [part] of it shall be sold, nor measured [as for sale], neither shall the first fruits of the land be taken away: for they are holy to the Lord. ¹⁵ But [concerning] the five thousand that remain in the breadth in the five and twenty thousand, they shall be a suburb to the city for dwelling, and for a space before it: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. ¹⁶ And these [shall be] its dimensions;

¹⁸ And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward. ¹⁹ And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son. ²⁰ And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

² And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

⁸ And these are the names of the sons of Israel that went into Egypt with their father Jacob—Jacob and his sons. The firstborn of Jacob, Ruben. ⁹ And the sons of Ruben; Enoch, and Phallus, Asron, and Charmi. ¹⁰ and the sons of Symeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Aod, and Achin, and Saar, and Saul, the son of a Chananitish woman. ¹¹ And the sons of Levi; Gerson, Cath, and Merari. ¹² And the sons of Judas; Er, and Aunan, and Selom, and Phares, and Zara: and Er and Aunan died in the land of Chanaan. ¹³ And the sons of Phares [were] Esron, and Jemuel.

² Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas, ³ Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin, ⁴ Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.

¹⁶ [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader,]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor. ¹⁷ And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son. ¹⁸ And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.

¹⁹ And the sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob; Joseph, and Benjamin. ²⁰ And there were sons born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him, [even] Manasses and Ephraim. And there were sons born to Manasses, which the Syrian concubine bore to him, [even] Machir. And Machir begot Galaad. And the sons of Ephraim, the brother of Manasses; Sutalaam, and Taam. And the sons of Sutalaam; Edom. ²¹ and the sons of Benjamin; Bala, and Bochor, and Asbel. And the sons of Bala were Gera, and Noeman, and Anchis, and Ros, and Mamphim. And Gera begot Arad. ²² These [are] the sons of Rachel, which she bore to Jacob; all the souls eighteen.

⁴ And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her. ⁵ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ⁶ And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and listened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan. ⁷ And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob. ⁸ And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.

²³ And the sons of Dan; Asom. ²⁴ And the sons of Nephthalim; Asiel, and Goni, and Issaar, and Sollem. ²⁵ These [are] the sons of Balla, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, who bore these to Jacob; all the souls, seven.

²⁰ Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

² Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

⁹ And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her. ¹⁰ And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son. ¹¹ And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad. ¹² And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son. ¹³ And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.

¹⁸ and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.

¹⁶ And the sons of Gad; Saphon, and Angis, and Sannis, and Thasoban, and Aedis, and Aroedis, and Areelis. ¹⁷ And the sons of Aser; Jemna, Jessua, and Jeul, and Baria, and Sara their sister. And the sons of Baria; Chobor, and Melchiil. ¹⁸ These [are] the sons of Zelpha, which Laban gave to his daughter Lea, who bore these to Jacob, sixteen souls.

¹⁸ And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.

¹³ And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.

² And Sarrha died in the city of Arboc, which is in the valley, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan; and Abraam came to lament for Sarrha and to mourn.

¹⁹ After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan.

⁵ So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.

¹² And now I ask of you this mountain, as the Lord said in that day; for you heard this word on that day; and now the Enakim are there, cities great and strong: if then the Lord should be with me, I will utterly destroy them, as the Lord said to me. ¹³ And Joshua blessed him, and gave Chebron to Chaleb the son of Jephone the son of Kenez for an inheritance. ¹⁴ Therefore Chebron became the inheritance of Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite until this day, because he followed the commandment of the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁵ And the name of Chebron before was the city Argob, it [is] the metropolis of the Enakim: and the land rested from war.

¹³ And to Chaleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda by the command of God; and Joshua gave him the city of Arboc the metropolis of Enac; this is Chebron.

¹¹ And they gave to them Cariatharboc the metropolis of the sons of Enac; this is Chebron in the mountain [country] of Juda, and the suburbs round it.

¹ And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.

³ and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.

¹¹ And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.

¹ And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh.

³ And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.

⁵ Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.

⁷ And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

²⁸ And Jacob survived seventeen years in the land of Egypt; and Jacob's days of the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven years.

²⁶ And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.

¹⁹ In the sweat of your face shall you eat your bread until you return to the earth out of which you were taken, for earth you are and to earth you shall return.

¹⁵ But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.

¹⁹ After this Abraam buried Sarrha his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mambre, this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan. ²⁰ So the field and the cave which was in it were made sure to Abraam for possession of a burying place, by the sons of Chet.

⁷ And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years. ⁸ And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people. ⁹ And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:

¹⁷ And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.

¹ And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here]. ² And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.

⁴¹ And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw near, that I may kill my brother Jacob.

³¹ There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea;

³³ And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.

²⁶ And you shall come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.

⁵ and they shall look up, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the locust shall increase, and the caper shall be scattered: because man has gone to his eternal home, and the mourners have gone about the market: ⁶ before the silver cord be [let go], or the choice gold be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel run down to the cistern; ⁷ [before] the dust also return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return to God who gave it.
